The person
behind the worlds.

I’m Shihab Shahriar Antor. AI engineer, product builder, founder—and someone who likes seeing how far an idea can go.

A little context

Build things.
Keep asking why.

My work crosses AI systems, full-stack engineering, and developer tools. I’m interested in the point where a technical idea becomes something people can actually use.

I founded Shahriar Labs, an independent AI and software research lab, with co-founder Ashraful Kabir Alif. Our work includes LetX, QuantumSketch, and research into persistent memory for AI agents.

At BRAC University, my research explored contrastive learning and computer vision in astronomical imagery. That curiosity still informs how I approach unfamiliar problems.

A few things I’ve built.

Outside the commits

There’s a little
anime in everything.

Dragon Ball, Naruto, Attack on Titan, Code Geass, Classroom of the Elite. Stories about persistence, strategy, and people who refuse to stay ordinary.

Alternate versions of me are hidden around this site. Different worlds, different outfits, the same face.
